2. According to David on Gregory (on w/Andrea Mitchell now) he's going to
essentially tell the liberals to come together and take a watered down plan. I hope to hell he's wrong. Listening to Hartmann now --

4. Some of these people are making the dumbest comments
"He'll probably be a Roosevelt, but if he wants longevity, he should be a Clinton"

Uh, excuse me DLC fanboy? FDR was elected 4 times. If he hadn't died in office, he probably would have been elected 5 times. He had more longevity than ANY other President.

7. He will be joining Jimmy Carter and George HW Bush on the platform of
one term ex-Presidents if he does. But he's right, it's time for war for campaign finance reform, election reform and real health care reform.

6. As long as he's listening to the corporate friendly DLCers on his staff
Edited on Fri Sep-04-09 12:50 PM by Cleita
and in his cabinet, namely the Emmanuel brothers and Kathleen Sibelius, he won't do anything to upset the corporate health care industry. He has already said we can't upset one sixth of the economy, which I take he means health care and PhRMA. We will have some kind of insurance reform and no public option that hasn't let the insurance companies into the gravy train. Sell out. I couldn't get through either.
